The population of the Northern Mariana Islands, as of January 1, 2011, is estimated at 50,000. Saipan, our largest island and the proposed site for the 2017 Pacific Mini Games, is the most developed of the Northern Marianas, and is home to most of our population. Saipan offers the visiting athlete an inviting combination of modern amenities, such as a thriving tourism district with world-class hotels, restaurants, and shops, and the beauty of a clean and quiet tropical island. Almost all major venues, including proposed Games villages, sports venues, and leisure sites, are located within a short walk or drive.

U.S. Department of Energy Situation Report Typhoon Soudelor (13W) Situation Report #11 August 13, 2015 (2:30 PM EDT) CUC and GPA crews repairing distribution lines in Saipan following damage from Typhoon Soudelor. Photo credit: ESF-12 DOE Responder embedded with FEMA IMAT. Source: U.S. Department of Energy. Highlights: • Typhoon Soudelor impacted the island of Saipan directly on Sunday, August 2, with highest reported wind speeds of 91mph. NOAA’s Guam Forecast Office is no longer reporting on Soudelor. • Isolated rain showers are in the forecast today, August 13, for Saipan. The CNMI Emergency Operations Center is working with the National Weather Service on Guam to closely monitor the two tropical disturbances forming over eastern Micronesia. The two weather systems (97W and 98W) have the potential for formation into tropical storms or typhoons. While neither storm represents a significant threat individually, the combination of both systems, combined with a reduced capacity to respond with resources from Guam, presents an elevated threat to Guam and complicates support to Saipan, and the CNMI. • All 14,662 electric customers on island Saipan remain without power, except for the hospital, as of August 13. Feeder 1 is now providing electricity generated at Power Plant #4 to the Saipan hospital. The Kiya Substation has also been assessed and is ready for service.
